"i know this show will sell itself with ease..."

I think that is a HUGE assumption. This show has all the earmarks of very high quality, but not necessarily box office success. I wish them success, but I wouldn't assume that a critically successful, foreign language, arthouse film is a sure-fire hit. And despite the quality of the cast, none is a box office lock.

That depends on whether they get a Hollywood/recognizable name for Candela.

The marquee is up!

I tired to upload it here, but Photobucket hates me. It's posted on Sh-K-Boom & Ghostlight Records's Facebook.

Per Sh-K Boom:

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

This is so exciting! I really can't wait. Now we just need to hear who is going to be Carlos. Any bets?

I'm not sure if this has been said eariler, but according to Josh Lamon's formspring account, Rachel Bay Jones will be Patti LuPone's standby.

That's interesting, as I would've expected a bigger name as LuPone's standby.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Luis Salgado will be in the cast and I think is playing Laura Benanti's boyfriend, I'm not sure of the character name.

I kind of expected Mary Beth Piel to be LuPone's standby but Rachel Bay Jones is great - good for her. She could almost standby for Scott as well.
